Summary: PC repair for everyone, even computer illiterates like me
Comment: I'm not a computer technician. Heck, I can barely operate a computer! I "grew up" (computer-wise) with Macs, which never seem to need fixing and seldom wear out, but because my husband had a typical PC person's prejudice against Macs, I started using PCs. Toshibas, IBMs, Dells -- each and every one sooner or later had problems. Tired of talking to technicians from Wales to Holland, I decided to take an online course in computer repair and this book was required reading.
Voila! Help at last.
Information is thorough and easy to find. Fixes work.
If you HAVE to have a PC and you run into problems, this is the book to have.

Summary: Better than Certified Technical Support !
Comment: I bought a HP Pavillion 8785C and within the year had so many problems that the PC was racking up more mileage than me!
It was 'fixed??' twice by HP. Motherboard changed, Modem changed, RAM changed.. You name it, they changed it and still couldn't solve the problem!
I was ready to dump the PC after spending [money] in phone calls to HP Help! They even re-routed my call to India! And kept advising me to re-format my hard drive.
Then I bought this book and the solution was on page 698! Symptom 19-3.
Within an hour after checking the heat sink and changing the fan, I was back in business.
I could have saved so much money if I had bought this book earlier. Fedup with Tech Support? Get this book!
Maybe HP should invest in a couple of hundred copies for their staff.
